Hello.. I'm sure you got plenty of suggestions and pardon if this is a
repeat.
I 'm successfully using containers that where purchased at my local
Wal-Mart.
They are called Shimano and have 18 compartments. I found them by the
fishing stuff. The price was just over $2.00. I have been using three
of these and
have they are wonderful.
Since there are many more parts that compartments, I usually share a
compartment
with dissimilar components. Also I make a layout of the compartment on
a piece of paper,
when I inventory a component, I put it in a compartment and update the
respecitve layout
with the components ID not it's value. So for example, on the RF board
needs C72, I look at
my layout, find the compartment, get the component, verify the value
(using a magnifier) and insert it.
Anyway, for less the $10.00 you get three of these plastic boxes and
have 54 compartments.
Oh.. the cover locks down firmly too..
Just my two cents worth.
Enjoy building !!
